Country Coach Expands Workforce to Support Launch of Two New Motorcoach Lines
Country Coach is in the process of recruiting new team members to support growing manufacturing operations at its Junction City headquarters. In response to increasing customer requests (across its existing model lines, the company enjoyed a 15% high-end Class A market share increase in 2005), Country Coach intends to launch two entirely new Country Coach motorcoach lines, and plans to expand its workforce significantly this summer. The launch of these new motorcoaches is part of CC’s long-term strategy to fully serve the high-end Class A market. “This current workforce expansion allows us to offer new motorcoaches in more segments of the luxury market, while continuing to enhance our high product quality,” states Company President Jay Howard. “Finding the right people to join the Country Coach family will ensure that we continue our long tradition of marrying cutting edge technologies with old world craftsmanship.”

Country Coach Hosts Employee Summer Picnic
Country Coach, Inc. hosted its Summer Picnic on Saturday, July 8th with nearly 3,000 employees and family members in attendance. During this all-day summer event from 10am-5pm at the Lane Events Center in Eugene, Oregon the company treated its employees and their families to non-stop entertainment, games, live music, refreshments and door prizes.
Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts, a popular Portland, Oregon band, and the Eugene area favorite, The Valley Boys, performed throughout the day. The day’s agenda also included plenty of opportunity for play time, with horseshoe pits, volleyball and basketball courts, Country Coach Olympic games for the adults, and an entire section of the picnic site dedicated to the children, including large inflatable play structures, face painters, children’s crafts, clowns, and more.
A water misting tent was a popular and well-used feature as the temperatures soared to the upper-80’s, and a first aid station dispensed ice water throughout the day. A barbecued chicken and hamburgers lunch, with corn on the cob and all the fixings of a traditional picnic was served. Sno-cones, hot dogs, soft drinks, and cotton candy were enjoyed throughout the event.
Many wonderful prizes were awarded to CC employees throughout the event, all generously donated by valued Country Coach suppliers and vendors. Two lucky employees won 7-day Mexican cruises.
Country Coach is celebrating over 33 years of manufacturing excellence in the highline motorcoach industry. The company recognizes that it is the outstanding men and women who build these coaches that have helped establish Country Coach as The World’s Finest Motorcoaches on the road today. The picnic event was one way that the Company has chosen to say, “Thank you for a job well done.”
